I've just had it sized at Shreve and Company, and now wearing it. But I'm still totally blown away by the surprise gift, and the quality of the watch. It just feels way more substantial than any of my other watches, and the green face catches the light in very interesting ways.

Anyway I just thought I'd share on this board as you guys all seem to be Rolex enthusiasts, and would appreciate my shock. Also I can't exactly go around to all my friends, and show off my new watch as that would be kinda a dick move.

So my question to you guys what do I get my wife in return? Her birthday is in a few weeks and she has expressed interest in one of the older pink face Oysters, do you have any suggestions for what models to look at?

My wife never wraps presents in the original box. Last week I got a Jimmy Choo shoe box...and it had a new iPhone in it. Sweet...not quite a Rolex, but a nice surprise. Congrats.

Congrats and welcome to TRF.

I would suggest looking at a DJ for the wife.

I showed my wife your posts, and she is willing to trade me in for a newer model with less miles.

Obviously the watch would be part of the trade.

I'm not completely sure that she's joking...
